Wear the gear and stay healthy, can't call a game in the hospital.
Even in slow pitch you have to watch out for those errant throws. Like the shot I took when I went set to call a throw on the runner from the relay that the SS brought his glove down just a tad soon to make the tag. Learned the value of a cup. Or the game working alone, had a play at the plate made the call hustled out 3rd base side of the mound, went set anticipating throw from catcher to 2nd, never have found protection for a shot in the a**!
